"Getting Over Mr. Right" by Chrissie Manby

What do you do when you've been dumped by Mr. Right? Do you cry over a pint of ice cream? Watch a bunch of sappy movies? Maybe you throw out everything that reminds you of him, then get back to the dating world. Most people would find ways such as these to cope. But not Ashleigh Prince.

Instead Ashleigh resorts to cyber-stalking and showing up at his work to propose marriage after being dumped by her boyfriend Michael. And when that doesn't work she turns to phone psychics and casting spells to get him back. Ashleigh refuses to listen to the advice of family and friends to move on with her life. After all, Michael was her Mr. Right…even if he did dump her over Facebook and then defriend her.

Getting Over Mr. Right is a downright hilarious story of a woman who will stop at nothing to get back her Mr. Right. Ashleigh's story of finding true love then losing it over Facebook will pull you in right away. And as her antics grow more and more out of control, you will not be able to put the book down.

What is fantastic about this book is that even though Ashleigh's behaviour is crazy, somewhere we will all be able to relate to the story. If you've ever experienced the loss of who you thought was the one you will see your wildest fantasies played out. And seeing what happens to Ashleigh, you'll be thankful they remained just fantasies.

The first half of this month was marked by very little reading. But the second half of the month was all books all the time. Maybe it was all the rain we got that kept me inside and curled up on the couch. I did not read most of the books I had planned on reading during the month but I found some other great ones to get into. And of course, I did not blog like I had hoped so this continues to be a work in progress. Here is what I read in May: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Can't Make This Up: Life Lessons - Kevin Hart ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Into the Water - Paula Hawkins The Other Half of Happiness - Ayisha Malik When Dimple Met Rishi - Sandhya Menon Run, Hide, Repeat: A Memoir of a Fugitive Childhood - Pauline Dakin ⭐⭐⭐ The Last Neanderthal - Claire Cameron This is That: Travel Guide to Canada - This is That Fierce Kingdom - Gin Phillips June I don’t have much planned in terms of what books I want to read in June. The Child by Fiona Barton is coming out, it is one that I recommend if you like the psychological thriller genre. I like…

After embarrassing themselves at a New Year’s Eve event for members of Philadelphia’s high society, Maddie and Ellis Hyde are financially cut off by his father and left completely on their own. Ellis has already disappointed his father, a former army Colonel, by not being able to serve in WWII due to his colourblindness. There is only one way he can think of regaining his favour - to hunt down the famous Loch Ness monster, a feat his father attempted but failed to do.
But it is 1942 and a war rages on overseas. This won’t stop Ellis though, and along with their friend Hank, they set off for Scotland. While Ellis and Hank spend their days hunting the monster, Maddie is left on her own back at the inn. As she tries to adapt to a new country and a new station in life, she begins to figure out that her life isn’t what she thought it is. As her eyes are opened to the world around her, she discovers a strength she didn’t know she had and a brand new kind of love. At the Water’s Edge…

He is the boy whose murder shocked the world. They are the parents whose grief and loss launched a movement.
In February of 2012, on an average evening in a small town in central Florida, seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot to death while walking home from the store with a bag of candy and a can of juice in his pockets. The head of the neighbourhood watch got out of the car against the advice of the authorities he had contacted regarding a suspicious person and followed the young man. This encounter ended with the man drawing his gun and taking Trayvon’s life.
In the days that followed, Trayvon’s parents tried to get answers from the police but were ignored. They couldn’t understand how the man that murdered their son was allowed to walk free. Their grief overtook them but they knew they had to fight for their son and as time went on the world joined them in calling for justice for Trayvon and all victims of racism and gun violence.
